OUTRAGE!
IS NOTHING SACRED?
They are "remaking" the Karate Kid.
Check out more: here, here, and hear it straight from Daniel himself representing here.
Lets see, here's a list of my favorite childhood movie franchises:
-Star Wars
-Indiana Jones
-Karate Kid
THE FIRST TWO HAVE ALREADY BEEN RUINED, PLEASE, IF JUSTICE EXISTS LET DANIELSAN BE!
This is unconfirmed, but I'm pretty sure I was the first in North America to purchase the Karate Kid boxed set when it came out; I was at Wal-Mart at midnight, shocked by the lack of fanfare. I thought I was a big fan, until my co-worker Chris came in with the soundtrack today (impressive), and told me about this remake.
The Karate Kid does not fit into the trend of "recasting" series ala Batman/Star Trek. It was a magical moment in time that cannot just be pillaged by some jerk producers looking to pimp Will Smith's kid.
Heartbroken,
-Adam

Dumb ideas on, dumb ideas off...Pat Morita is probably turning over in his grave.
What's next? Beyonce in "Flashdance"? "Amadeus in 3-D"? Jay-Zee & Billy Ray Cyrus in the remake of "48 Hours"? "Airplane II?" (Oh yeah, they already made that turkey.)
No, wait...Jason Statham in the remake of Beastmaster!
Somebody stop me...I feels a pitch comin' on.
I feel your pain bro...
